Language courses are consist of five stages: A1 and A2 (beginner), B1 and B2 (intermediate), and C1 (advanced). Course levels are determined according to European Language Portfolio. A placement test is applied to the new students who register for the courses and these students are placed to the appropriate levels according to the results of this exam. A curriculum which supports intercultural communication and improves the four basic language skills; listening, reading, speaking and writing is implemented in DEDAM.

Lesson materials, developed by DEDAM instructors within the framework of projects are used in the courses of teaching Turkish to foreigners. Materials for A1 and A2 levels are set as a course book with the title of ‘İzmir Yabancılar için Türkçe’.

In addition to the lessons; there are excursions, movie shows, group reading and interpretation activities in order to get acquainted with Turkish culture for the students.
